  1. Physics Beyond the Standard Model J. Hewett, ITEP Winter School 2010

  2. Why New Physics @ the Terascale? • Electroweak Symmetry breaks at energies ~ 1 TeV (SM Higgs or ???) • WW Scattering unitarized at energies ~ 1 TeV (SM Higgs or ???) • Gauge Hierarchy: Nature is fine-tuned or Higgs mass must be stabilized by New Physics ~ 1 TeV • Dark Matter: Weakly Interacting Massive Particle must have mass ~ 1 TeV to reproduce observed DM density All things point to the Terascale!

  21. Standard Model is an Effective field theory An effective field theory has a finite range of applicability in energy: , Cutoff scale Energy Theory is valid Particle masses All interactions consistent with gauged symmetries are permitted, including higher dimensional operators whose mass dimension is compensated for by powers of 

  24. Telescope to Unification Unification of Weak and Electromagnetic forces demonstrated at HERA ep collider at DESY  Electroweak theory!

  25. 16 Grand Unification Gauge coupling unification indicates forces arise from single entity

  26. What sets the cutoff scale  ? • What is the theory above the cutoff? New Physics, Beyond the Standard Model! Three paradigms: • SM parameters are unnatural • New physics introduced to “Naturalize” • SM gauge/matter content complicated • New physics introduced to simplify • Deviation from SM observed in experiment  New physics introduced to explain

  27. How unnatural are the SM parameters? Technically Natural • Fermion masses (Yukawa Couplings) • Gauge couplings • CKM Logarithmically sensitive to the cutoff scale • Technically Unnatural • Higgs mass • Cosmological constant • QCD vacuum angle • Power-law sensitivity to the cutoff scale

  28. The naturalness problem that has had the greatest impact on collider physics is: The Higgs (mass)2 problem or The hierarchy problem

  29. Do we really need a Higgs? Higgs Higgs Bad violation of unitarity A = a s/MW2 + … Restores unitarity A = - a (s – mh2)/MW2 + … Expand cross section into partial waves Unitarity bound (Optical theorem!)  Gives mh < 4MW LHC is designed to explore this entire region!

  37. Supersymmetry Supersymmetry is a new symmetry that relates fermions ↔ bosons

  38. Superpartners • Translations: Particle P at point x → Particle P at point x’ • Supersymmetry: Particle P at point x → Particle P at point x • P and P differ by spin ½: fermions ↔ bosons • P and P are identical in all other ways (mass, couplings….) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ γ γ γ

  39. Supersymmetry and Naturalness Dependence on Λ is softened to a logarithm SUSY solves hierarchy problem, if sparticle masses <1 TeV

  40. Supersymmetry: Recap • Symmetry between fermions and bosons • Predicts that every particle has a superpartner of • equal mass • Suppresses quantum effects • Can make quantum mechanics consistent with • gravity (with other ingredients)

  41. Supersymmetry: Recap • Symmetry between fermions and bosons • Predicts that every particle has a superpartner of • equal mass (  SUSY is broken: many competing models!) • Suppresses quantum effects • Can make quantum mechanics consistent with • gravity (with other ingredients)

  42. Higgs Doubling • SUSY requires 2 Higgs doublets to cancel anomalies and to give mass to both up- and down-type particles • Anomaly cancellation requires Σ Y3 = 0, where Y is hypercharge and the sum is over all fermions • SUSY adds an extra fermion with Y = -1 • To cancel this anomaly, we add another Higgs doublet with Y = +1

  43. Supersymmetric Parameters

  44. Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model • Conserved multiplicative quantum number (R-parity) • Superpartners are produced in pairs • Heavier Superpartners decay to the Lightest • Lightest Superpartner is stable • Collider signatures dependent on this assumption • and on model of SUSY breaking

  45. R-Parity: New Multiplicative Quantum Number • One problem: proton decay! • Forbid this with R-parity conservation: Rp = (-1)3(B-L)+2S • P has Rp = +1; P has Rp = -1 • Requires 2 superpartners in each interaction • Consequence: the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP) is stable and cosmologically significant. • What is the LSP? ~

  46. Neutral SUSY Particles

  47. Electroweak Symmetry Breaking

  48. Telescope to Unification • Superpartners modify the scale dependence of couplings • With TeV superpartners, the forces are unified! • Unification scale ~ 1016 GeV

  49. Telescope to Unification • All parameters have scale dependence • Superpartner mass determinationsprovide tests for unification Evolution of superpartner masses to high scale:

  50. SUSY Breaking SUSY is not an exact symmetry We don’t know how SUSY is broken, but SUSY breaking effects can be parameterized in the Lagrangian
